    I can't get the link to the story copied but, ABC News reported today the the source of the limestone used to construct the blocks used in the building of the Alamo has been discovered.  New blocks will be fashioned and used in the reconstruction of the Alamo.

    The Baldwins - The Series

    Alec Baldwin's No. 1 protector, wife Hilaria Baldwin, came to his defense Sunday after the Emmy Award-winning actor threatened to physically harm a comedian.

    Jason Scoop exclusively told Fox News Digital that he had no idea his life was in danger before he attempted to speak to the "Beetlejuice" star outside the actor's home in Manhattan.

    "Truthfully, if I'm being, like, bullet to my gun to my head … No, I didn't think he would threaten to murder me by snapping my neck in half," Scoop said. "That was my favorite part. The ‘in half.’ Oh, snap your neck in half."

    What in the wide, wide world of sports does that have to do with anything? Before you start in with "If you didn't serve...," just remember this: The military is, and by necessity must be, subservient to the Constitution and the duly elected civilian authority. That is, the citizenry of the United States who elect their representatives. Thus, if an American citizen formulates an intelligent, articulate and well reasoned opinion, then their military experience on such issues is irrelevant. I would say it was relevant to matters of combat experience and armchair quarterbacking things done in the heat of battle, but that is a very different thing.

    There is significant documentation to support the assertion that the forts named for confederate generals were so named to assuage Southern feelings at the time the "lost cause" argument was propounded as confederate soldiers aged. It may be coincidental that the naming, the placement of statues of confederate heroes, the lost cause argument, and Jim Crow were taking place at roughly the same period in time, but I think meeting the burden in showing such a coincidence would  be quite taxing. 

    So, for those who are comfortable maintaining such names, despite the arguably racist history surrounding them, my response is feel free to do so, just be honest with yourself and everyone else as to that history.

     

    Personally, I still think Bragg should have been renamed Fort Benavidez.

     

    Your term, racist is null and void anytime you dont agree with something . Case closed

     

    “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” 

     

    Meet PFC Bragg 
     

    Pfc. Bragg enlisted in the Army and was assigned to the 17th Airborne Division’s 513th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the XVIII Airborne Corps at the post that bears his name.

    He was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart for heroics during the Battle of the Bulge, according to Hegseth’s memo. Bragg is credited with saving another soldier’s life by “commandeering an enemy ambulance and driving it 20 miles” to an Allied hospital in Belgium, the memo says.

    Bragg died in January 1999. He was 75.

    And in the last quarter century Republicans kept getting worse and worse too. It's not enough any more to only see what's wrong with the other side.

     

    Anyway, to get back on topic, it's too bad some people think it's a good idea to name American bases for somebody who fought against America no matter how creatively you try to pretend that's not what you're doing.

     

    Who lit the fuse on your tampon ? Imagine being so weak being offended by a name , of a base you never served at

    Your boy vs Hegseth

    Dripping faucets when it's cold?

    Not much I can do right now about cold proofing.  Will just have to cope as best we can, and pray nothing goes wrong.  Likely will let the faucets drip for the next 2 nights.  After that it warms back up.  Just a short bit of a cold snap.

     

     

    All good just remember its a dry cold :)
